This fine professional flamenco guitar is from the original Hermanos Conde shop on Gravina which is currently run by Faustino's widow. The Hermanos Conde, (Faustino, Mariano, and Julio) were trained by their uncle Domingo Esteso (1882-1937), one of this century's greatest guitar makers. The Gravina shop's master craftsmen continue to build the same models of classical and flamenco guitars that made the Conde name famous. This guitar offers the qualities that the Conde Hermanos made famous: great playability, and the dry bark and responsiveness that flamenco players love. Because a crack developed along the center seam, which we have had repaired, we have reduced the price on this guitar from a $1000.
